Set up as a pip package #16

Closed milo-trujillo closed 5 years ago

milo-trujillo commented 6 years ago

Pip is the Python package manager, equivalent to Ruby's gem or Perl's CPAN. We've got enough of a pip framework set up that you can install all of socmap's dependencies with pip install . in the socmap folder.

What would it take to configure socmap as a complete Python package so users can install it with pip install socmap and don't have to deal with Github and installation from source? I've never gone through this process with Python, and don't know whether it's a good fit for a multi-file project like socmap.

This seems like a poor choice with the addition of the tools folder - SocMap is neither a library, nor a single executable, but an executable and attendant scripts for gathering data and analyzing it afterwards. If someone more involved in the Python ecosystem sees a good way to proceed then we'll re-examine the issue, but for now, no.
